Mobile network not available

Hi all

My mobile handset won't connect to the network. I have tried all the usual remedies, including turning the phone off and on, and taking out the SIM card and putting it back in again.

When I try to select the Virgin network manually via "Settings", the connection is forbidden. This leads me to suspect that the SIM card is now faulty.

I have tried multiple times to contact Customer Services (using another phone) to request a new SIM card, but without success (I am just held in a queue). 

Please could I have some support here to order a new SIM card. I will want to retain my existing number, of course.

Thank you!

Regards

Mike

Hi @MohoMike,

 

Welcome to our Community Forums and thanks for your post.

 

I am sorry to hear you're having some issues with the service. I'll be more than happy to help look into this and if required request another SIM card for you.

 

Will pop you a PM now 🙂

Hello @seelca,

Welcome, thanks for posting.

I am sorry for the issues with your SIM.

I will send you a private message now, so I can order a new one for you.

Please look out for a purple envelope, at the top right corner of the page.

Many thanks,

Hayley
